Yes, each command gets its own ssh session. Like Christian explained, doing otherwise would cause problems trying to figure out when commands finish and what their exit values would be. I don't think it would make sense to build support for that in Fabric itself, because there is another Python package that already provides this (and more): pexpect. pexpect is more general purpose and powerful, but fabric is easier to use. -- Heikki Toivonen
